Fira, Greece

Okay so seeing as Elena has to use the internet, and we wont have access to the internet for a few days after this, I am just going to upload a couple more pictures while I can! Today we are moving campsites to Perissa, home of the black beaches, where we have to do some food shopping (quite a hassle when you don't understand any food labels) and book our next ferry to Ios. Yesterday's donkey ride was incredible though rather scary up the steps of the Old Port of Fira - there was no controlling them and quite often they would slip down the slippy edges of the steps! Elena thought that hers was going to fall over because it kept trembling but it was all okay in the end. We also discovered the joy of taking selfies with the donkeys that were lined up the steps! In the evening we went to Oia and saw the sunset and spent two hours wandering around the maze of streets looking for somewhere that sold cheap food (everywhere else it was 12 euro for a salad). We ended up eating souvlaki, which is lots of random food wrapped in pita bread. I'm not quite sure what mine had in it but it tasted alright, and was only 1,80 euro! After we returned to Fira we went to a club called Enigma with Jojo and David and Kerry, our roomie from Athens who decided to join us in Santorini! It was full of locals, and they played some American music but mostly Greek, which was awesome! Anyway, here's a couple of photos!
